Mr.. PATRICK A. COLLINS, who repre-
sents in Congress the grog-shop district OF
Boston, has solid reputation for previous.
ness. Every year, as regularly as the years
roll round, previous to the elections, he
carries Massachusetts, for the Democrats.
Long previous to the last presidential elec-
tion he went in person to Albany to tender
Mr.. Cleveland the electoral vote Of Massa-
chusetts. So also, long previous to Mr..
Cleveland's "turning the rascals OUT" Mr..
Collins kindly distributed the spoils to his
peculiar species, and this exploit was equally
successful with his Others, for In the end
the Mugwumps drew the prizes. And now
lie is practlcing his special gift by very
long stretch Of previousness, even to the ex-
tent of twelve months. Indeed, the New
York election In his view seems to have
settled everything for long time to ccme,
and the Democratic party have perpetual
first mortgage on the universe, not to men
tion so small thing as the presidency.
Republicans will not view this latest exhi-
bition of prevlousness with alarm, siuce 1t
is good sign that Mr.. Collins's local repu-
tation for reversible prophesy is spreading
itself and threatens to become national.
He has never yet, IL we are correctly In.
formed, fulfilled promise to deliver any
thing Of great political value.
National Republican., 1887-11-14

deavors TO show that II was over stated.
q. NJ. c., to arrive at his conclusions as to
the currency contraction, assumes that re-
tired bank notes are not withdrawn from
circulation.
OF course, such an assumption Ia Gu
tirely unwarranted. G.. NJ. G. might as
sumo that the "demand notes" were still
in circulation, but that would not make II
SO. The assumption made only shows how
exceedingly troubled the treasury experts
are to try and break the force OF the facts
which tho NATIONAL REPUBLICAN has
shown to exist.
But g. NJ. G. admits a contraction Of
$3.50, ,0Gs, and In doing so runs exactly
counter to another treasury official, Mr..
Kimball, the director OF the mint, who last
week gave out statement to the corre-
spondent Of the New York Commercial
Bulletin, in which he endeavors to show
an expepsion of over $73, 1000, 900.
These two treasury experts differ about
1924, 100000 In their figures, and an execu-
tive order should be issued requiring uni
formity or silence. Perhaps the latter
would be best, as any attempt to falslfy
the figures will be exposed promptly, as
was done with those Of the director OF the
mint
The Post assumes because the NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN on Saturday showed that M
KimJdPs oVn figures proved contraction
of 100000 900 instead Of an expansion Of
$73, ,000, 600 that the REPUBLICAN had aban.
doned its own statements as to the immense
contraction.
Our esteemed contemporary Is mistIken.
The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN cannot abin.
don its statement OF the SUN of contraction
until either ex-Secretary Manning or 5 'cre-
tary Fairchlld acknowledges that the official
figures given by them are false.
So long as these figures stand so long does
the damning proof stand that In thirty -iwo
months the administration Of President
Cleveland has contracted the currency TWO
HUNDRED AND THrRTY-THREE MILLION DOL
LARS by unnecessarily locking up that 9um
in the treasury, and that by doing 1t he hl.
caused the farmers of the country to lo.e
this year on three crops-wheGt, corn, inl
oats--the enormous SUN OF over two Iuu-
dred and thirty million dollars.
1t is these facts that hurt.
National Republican., 1887-11-14

SURFACE indications seem to foretell the
early extingulshment Of the fiery Sparks
William Andrew jackson. Mr.. Lamar makes
the issue personal one, aud In such form
that the President cannot avoid 1t. There
is not room for the Secretary and the com
missioner In the same department, says Mr..
Lamar, and he probably knows his ground.
But the President, on the eve Of a campaign
which he is striving to shape for his own
vindcation, will hesitate before consigning
Sparks to the waste basket Of politics.
Sparks is an honestly wrong headed man.
He belongs to that species whose abilities
develop best to the injury Of Its frien ds.
As positive force Sparks may not be Of
great consequence to any party, but tits just
possible thathe is capable OF lgniting a con-
flagration In the rear Of some Of Mr.. Cleye-
lands "retorms" VIII ch would disturb the
even flow of "vindication." An easy way
out Of this dilemma is to "promote" Lamar
or Sparks out Of the Interior Department;
but in any event Sparks will be handled
glngerly, as becomes conclusive material

to produce sounds as soft and tender as the
cOoing of doves and to stir the heart With the
clarion blast. bright and cutting as wen
edged sword His runs and trills are true, free
from slurs or breaks and his cadenZas are
rendered 20 evenly and SO smooth as TO seem

good turn" In providing entertainments of
such superior excellence.

Hunting For Economical Results

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN: In their
report for the year 1886 the District COM
missioners say: "The permit system, under
which the District furnishes material and
the owner pays for the labor required for
given work, is a development which has
secured economical results and given
general satisfaction" And they recon-
mend increased appropriations to enable
them to do greater amount Of work under
this system. Perhaps there are individuals
who have been greatly benefited by this
system, but 1t would puzzle the average
intellect to understand where the "econom-
ical results are secured" In the case where
900 feet OF curb, which had been hauled and
set on the north side Of Q street, between
Seventeenth and Eighteenth streets, was
dug up and carted to another section Of the
city. AS the taxpayers must bear the eX-
pense of hauling, setting, digging up, and
carriage, and also for hauling and setting of
the same amount and kind OF curb to re.
place 1t, 1t would no doubt interest them TO
know who was especially. benefited in this
case. The beauties Of this system can be
developed BY congressional investigation.

In five years the exports Of cotton goods
manufactured in the United States in-
creased nearly 80 per cent, the increase,
except In 1886, being a gradual, steady
growth. In that year there was an excep-
tlonal advance, and It was in the direction
where the manufacturers Of this country
must look for customers--that is, In China
and the American states south of us. The
exports of these goods to China were dou-
bic in 1856 what they were in 1888.

Figures That Hurt,

The home organ Of the administration,
the Washington Post, and correspondent,
who conceals his name in the letters G.. NJ.
c., both come to the defense OF the adminis-
tration against the charges made by the
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN that the currency
had been enormously contracted since the
Inauguration Of President Cleveland.
All these defenders Of the administration
should agree upon some set Of figures and
stand by them, and not each for itself
make a set and figure out the results.
The NATIONAL. REPUBLICAN, has taken
the official statements Of the Secretaries
Of the Treasury under President Cleveland.
Either Secretary Manning misrepresented
the facts, when he said In his first report to
Congress (yol. l, page 12), or there was
1919, l66, 1853 In the United States treasury
on the 4th of March, 1885.
II Secretary Fairchild tells the truth over
his own signature In his monthly debt state
ment, dated Oct. 81, 1887, there was at that
date in the treasury s6l2, ,6Ss,469.
These are plain, official statements, and
any one can understand that II one or the
other of these officials has not falsely re-
ported tie amount OF money In the treas
ury, the difference between their figures
represents the amount withdrawn from cir
culation and boarded in the treasury be-
tween the dates given.
Now, what are the fguresS Let us have
them plainly before the eye at the same
time. Here they are:

Does G. NJ. @. or the Post assert that
either Manning or Fairchild misstates the
facts II they do not and neither Of them
docsn--either of them can, for these figures
are correct, and there ia, az the NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN asserted, $233, ,4T2, 1l6 more In
the treasury than there was when President
Cleveland was inaugurated, and Of course
the currency is contracted TO that amount.
G. NJ. e. endeavors to juggle with tho
figures and talks about "net assets,n which
by his showing have been increased $685.
52T344. No one cares under what head
the treasury bookkeepers classify and enter
up their money.
How much money is there in the treasury
now, and how much was there when Presl.
dent Cleveland was inaugurated is the
question. The Secretaries OF the Treasury
have answered II. The NATIONAL RgPUB-

shown what the contraction is.
